This Is How I Save My Life is Amy's story with her diagnosis, mis-diagnosis, what she does about it and how her decision affects her life on different levels. She struggles for awhile before she makes the life-altering decision to journey to India where they are doing embryo stem cell treatment, something they aren't doing here.

There, she has is presented with a totally different cultural, beliefs and makes new friends. She learns more about herself and how her story is really inspiring. For the most part, the book is comprised of blog entries, which really is easy to read and understand what is going on in Amy's thoughts. There's a forward, so to speak, where Amy explains why she decided to share her experiences and than a wrap-up.

Amy's very candid, which I admire. She's also funny, ironic and honest. Her story rings true and is inspiring. You don't need to be suffering from a chronic illness to read her story, it's captivating and uplifting. I'd recommend it to anyone!
